(From northnorfolknews.co.uk)- A series of measures to protect seals, their pups, little terns and ringed plovers will be among the ecological measures taken during sea defence work on the north Norfolk coast, which is due to start next month.
As reported last week, Environment Agency contractors will bring in 30,000 tonnes of sea defence rock by barge to the coast at Eccles and Horsey and dredge 280,000 cubic metres of sand to recharge the beaches at Sea Palling and Waxham.
The news of the major, multi-million pound operation raised concerns among those who know the stretch of coast well – particularly in connection with a well known colony of seals often seen hauled up on the beach around Horsey.
